I don't think that's a Lictor. The Lictor was the thing that came up behind the SM commander in the video. It looks more like a Carnifax or a Hive Tyrant but it's a little too small. Hmmm - I wonder if it's a Tyranid Warrior with only melee weapons.

In the tabletop game I think you can only field one Lictor at a time and it's very steathy so I don't think you'll be seeing losts of Lictors in DoW2

Considering how a lot of DoW2 is based around customizing a smaller number of squads in more diverse ways, I'd say yes, you could give them different biomorphs. After all, Space Marines get wargear, Tyrannids have to evolve their own equipment.

I'm really interested to see how they handle multiplayer in this version. I really, really like the multiplayer in Relic games. CoH is getting a bit old for me and I want to try a scifi/fantasy RTS with squad usage.

THQ seems to have made a deal where if you buy a retail copy, you can link and download it via steam.

Others didn't choose that route.

So far, it only works with Soulstorm. Thanks to the link CeeKay provided, it would seem my attempt to reg other games was futile.

Can't wait to see this game tomorrow. I've got a good feeling about it. I think I'll miss the base building...but the rest of it should make up for it. This looks to be even closer to the scale of W40k than Dawn of War was.
